Colonel Wolsey

disciplined conflicted loyal to duty pragmatic increasingly uncertain

Colonel Wolsey commands Sir George Hutchinson’s armed force in Little Hodcombe, enforcing martial order under the pretense of a Civil War reenactment. A rigid traditionalist who prizes historical accuracy in his rituals, he navigates the escalating horrors around him with a veneer of professional detachment that barely conceals his mounting unease. His loyalty to Hutchinson stems from institutional duty rather than conviction, revealing itself in calculated obedience even as psychic corruption tightens its grip. When forced to choose between control and conscience, he oscillates between pragmatic compliance and silent resistance—most evident in his reluctant cooperation with the Doctor’s sabotage efforts.
